ASU and KWKW
1972-1975
In 1973, Spanish Language KWKW in Los Angeles offered me a consulting position. Taking advantage of the opportunity, I moved to Phoenix and simultaneously enrolled in Arizona State University (after getting a GED since my Ecuadorian diploma did not qualify for US University admission; I got the highest score ever seen in the state up to that time) majoring in business and statistics and where I was on the Dean's List each semester.

While consulting KWKW in Los Angeles, also assisted with sister KRUX and KTKT in Arizona. Here is my snapshot of (l-r) KWKW News Director Antonio González, KRUX's Gerry Ackley, Henry Kissinger and the President of Mexico at Nogales, AZ in 1974.

of the Phoenix metro area at Camelback and 77th.

Of course, to get into college my credentials from Ecuador were not valid.
I took the GED test and went back to school.

Proving that an Ecuadorian education was very good, I scored and average
of over 98 on the GED test.
